"I Turned Twenty Last Week"

I turned twenty last week.

I never much cared for birthdays, at least not my own,

But for some reason, I turned twenty last week, and I was happy.

Perhaps it was the fact that my soulmate celebrated with me,

or perhaps it was the knowledge that good things would come my way.

But I turned twenty,

and I was happy.

I turned twenty on a Tuesday.

I had a whole day of classes and did not show up to a single one.

I turned twenty, and it was my day.

I turned twenty last week,

and the minute the clock hit midnight, I realized how grateful I was to turn twenty last week.

Because that Friday,

three days after I turned twenty last week,

I lost my soulmate.

I turned twenty last week,

and I am happy I turned twenty when I did.

Because I turned twenty and had one last happy day before my whole world went to shit.

I turned twenty last week,

I lost him last week,

but I kept holding on to hope that we would be found again.

I turned twenty last week,

I lost him last week,

but I truly lost him today.

and as much as it hurts,

I am happy I turned twenty last week,

because if I had turned twenty this week,

I don't think I would ever make it to twenty-one.
